Chapter 175: Rainfall Success

"Feiyu, are you sure that the gods will rain? This...... It doesn't seem to be a reaction, huh? ”

Since the hot air balloon descended, Ying Zheng has been looking up at the sky with his eyes, and his neck is about to break.

But so far, there has been no response at all.

The sun is still hanging in the sky, and the people who shine on it are covered in sweat!

"Yes, little boy, is your master not at home? I don't see any change in the sky! ”

"The sky is clear, and there are no clouds, so how can it rain? Did the little boy make a mistake? ”

"If you want me to see, this sacrifice of the little boy is a free gift!"

……

Seeing this scene, Feng Zai, Li Xin and others were immediately relieved, and said with a playful smile.

"What's the hurry? It will also take time for Master to gather the clouds, and there will be heavy rain later, so you can wait! ”

Xiao Zhengtai carried his little hands and said confidently.

"Okay, then wait!"

Ying Zheng nodded, looking up at the sky patiently.

About half an hour later, a dark cloud suddenly floated over, obscuring the dazzling sun!

"It's coming, it's coming, the clouds are really coming!"

Wang Ben exclaimed happily.

"It's just a cloud, how can it rain?"

Feng Zai rolled his eyes and said with a sneer.

"Here we go again, here we go again!"

"It's the wind, it's the wind? And with a hint of coolness! ”

"It's really going to rain! The boy begged for rain for us! ”

……

Immediately afterward, the cheers of the people continued to sound.

Everyone really felt the change in the weather!

"It's almost time!"

Xiao Zhengtai has also been paying attention to the changes in the weather, and seeing that the clouds have almost gathered, he said confidently.

"Almost? Could it really rain? ”

Li Si muttered under his breath, his tone full of doubt.

"Tick ......"

It wasn't until a drop of rain fell on the bridge of his nose that his heart trembled.

Finished!

It's really raining!

Immediately afterward, everyone present felt the sensation of raindrops falling on their faces.

Rub it with your hands, and the cool sensation will suddenly reach your skin!

"It's raining, it's raining!"

"Great, it's really raining!"

"The people of Xianyang have been saved!"

……

After feeling the raindrops, the people raised their hands and cheered.

"Whoa......

The rain grew heavier and heavier, and after a few moments it fell like pearls with broken threads.

Ying Zheng and the ministers hurried to the nearby to hide from the rain.

The people were dancing excitedly in the rain, not afraid of getting wet at all!

They have been waiting for this rain for too long, and now that they see the rain, it's no wonder they are not excited!

"The little boy is so powerful, he actually succeeded in begging for rain in this drought time!"

"Yes, the little boy is really a god!"

Looking at the pouring rain outside, many ministers sighed.

"Haha, you kid really begged for the rain!"

Looking at the cheering of the people, Ying Zheng smiled with relief.

"Erchen said yes, then it will definitely do!"

Xiao Zhengtai is also not modest, carrying a small hand, slightly meaningful.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, the people are happy, but Li Si and others are sad!

According to the previous agreement, this kid will ask the rain to come down, then the reform will be implemented, and their official position will not be able to last for a few days!

【Ding! Congratulations to the host, complete the system task, and reward 1,000 catties of hybrid rice seeds! 】

The rain was pouring down, and the system prompt sounded in my head.

With this thousand catties of hybrid rice seeds, it won't be long before hybrid rice can be popularized in Daqin, increasing the yield of rice tenfold!

The heavy rain was falling, and after a while, it gathered into a stream on the ground, and the whole Xianyang was full of coolness!

"Prime Minister, now that the heavy rain has fallen and the drought in Xianyang City has eased, isn't it time to study and study the reform?"

After getting the system reward, Xiao Zhengtai suddenly showed a smile, walked up to Li Si, and said with a playful smile.

"The matter of reform is decided by Your Majesty, and those of us who are courtiers can only assist the king!"

Li Si shook his sleeve robe, was noncommittal, and said some ambiguous words.

He naturally doesn't want to reform, but he has already said it before, and he can't go back, so he can only say these compromises!

"Haha, the little boy said before that the great drought in Xianyang is the ...... warning of the gods to Daqin!"

Ying Zheng borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and continued: "My Great Qin has not undergone reform for decades, and it should indeed change, and when this matter returns to the palace, I will order someone to start it!" ”

"Everything is arranged by His Majesty!"

Li Si and other ministers bowed.

……

When everyone returned to the palace, Yingzheng called some of his confidants and ministers together to discuss reforms.

"Where do you think we should start with reform?"

Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair and asked with a dignified face.

Wang Ben, Meng Yi, Zhang Han, Li Si, Feng Quji and others are all listed.

In addition to them, there are also a number of princes!

"The minister thinks that the current treasury is gradually enriching, and the most important thing to implement is the retirement system!"

Wang Ben was the first to stand up and put forward his own suggestions.

"The minister seconded the proposal, according to what the little prince said, people do make a lot of wrong decisions when they get old, and an age line should be set, and hundreds of officials should retire when they reach this age, give young people some opportunities, and let officials who have worked hard for half their lives enjoy happiness in their old age!"

Meng Yi nodded in agreement.

He has always remembered what the little boy said at the beginning, and he is waiting to be able to implement it one day!

"Wenchen is okay, if he is a military general, he can't even hold a weapon at the age of sixty or seventy, how can he go to the battlefield? It's better to be a consultant as the little boy said, help the young generals answer questions and solve doubts, and give full play to their spare heat! ”

General Kang Anping said.

"It seems that everyone thinks that the retirement system should be implemented first!"

After listening for a long time, Ying Zheng squinted his eyes and said.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the retirement system can't be implemented, but how should the age group be set?"

Li Si arched his hand and spoke.

It's not to intercede for Feng Zai and others, but to ask about the age of retirement!

"Father, almost half of the people in the court are over 50 years old, 30 percent are over 55 years old, and 10 percent are over 60 years old.

Childe Yingfan also stood up and asked a key question.

The current treasury is indeed enough to support the pensions of these people, but what the imperial court lacks most now is talent.

Li Si also made up his mind, so he asked Ying Zheng about the retirement age.

If this problem is settled, the retirement system will not be implemented!

Before that, it was more difficult for the people to read and write than to ascend to the sky.

Even if the family is bankrupt for one person to study, enlightenment and ten years of cold windows, they often have to be in their twenties.

If you are lucky and appreciated, you can mix in the hall before the age of thirty, and if you want to climb up, you can't do it in ten or twenty years!

Therefore, except for those officials from the big families who can be younger, most of the officials in the DPRK and China are over 50 years old!
